Essays include 'Of the State of Europe', 'Observations on a Libel', 'A Speech Touching Purveyors' and 'Of the True Greatness of Britain'.

The final essay is 'Of a War With Spain'; the remaining works originally included in this volume are not present because they are concerned with law rather than politics.
